Is this PSU enough for this PC?

[Fred Flintstone]

I'm planning to build a new system with these specs:

AMD R5-1600

MSI X370

RX 570 4GB

16GB DDR4 @3000MHz

1TB HDD

256GB SSD

The thing is that I don't know if this PSU will be enough: https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16817116023. If it won't, then I'd appreciate your suggestions, but they have to be available on this website: https://www.mercadolibre.com.ar and cost less than $2.100 (argentine peso, Mercado Libre works with that currency). Thanks in advance, every advice is welcome.

By the way, I also plan to overclock both CPU and graphics card.

I;m guessing you're going for the black and white color scheme? If so, that PSU isn't very good and I'd suggest a Corsair CX550M or RM550x if you can spend a bit more.

That PSU will power your system, but I'm not sure how reliable it is.

You're good on voltage, but that's not a great PSU. Look for a Corsair CXM or Seasonic anything over that unit.

[hammer3339]

take a look at the Tom's hardware PSU tier list for good purchasing advice, generally middle of the road tier 3 units are more than adequate. I would suggest a 600watt generally for overclocking, especially for Ryzen to give you a little more breathing room/ efficiency/ stability

For a standard build, yes.  For OCing I generally add 100w per component I plan to OC.

I do want to overclock at least the CPU, but if it's possible it would be nice to overclock the GPU too.

My case has a PSU shroud, so it won't be visible. Only one of those PSUs you mentioned is available here, the CX650M, but it isn't fully modular and it's a little bit over my budget.

That Corsair PSU is a little bit too expensive for me, and the cheapest fully modular variant from Seasonic is the M12ii 620W Evo, which I can barely afford, but would that one be enough?

Yes that is a very good PSU

So, are the extra $25 (USD) that it costs worth it?

Absolutely.

[hammer3339]

Seasonic are generally the best and manufacture components/ units for other companies such as some 'corsair', 'Antec' etc that are just re skinned seasonic PSU's

So then I'll try to stretch my budget as far as I can to get that PSU, since there aren't many alternatives at that pricepoint here. Thanks to all of you guys, I really appreciate your help.

Even I would put seasonic in my pc build.

The CX650M or EVGA B3 would be a better choice than the Seasonic. A 450W PSU should power your system with OC just fine so don't worry if you can only afford the 450W variants.

We're talking a gray, right?

What other CX550M is there?

The only issue I have with that Corsair PSU is that it isn't fully modular, and the EVGA variant you mentioned isn't available here ...

Why do you need full modularity? A semi-modular unit is easier to cable manage.

What price is the CX550M? That's also a good option and just as good to cable manage.

How is semi-modular cable management easier than fully modular? With the latter you have no unused cables hanging on in your case. Also, the cheapest Corsair CXM PSU I could find is the 650W variant (which is over my budget).

Semi modular PSUs only have the cables fixed that you will need regardless of what PC you have: 24-pin and 4+4 pin.

That one is not available here, I could only find the 650W version.

What price is that? If it's cheaper go for it.

I wouldn't say it's easier, but it's just as easy.

$145 (USD), it's from the cheapest reseller in Mercado Libre and it's a little bit over my budget, the M12ii 620W Evo is actually closer to what I'm willing to pay for a PSU, but both are still over my budget as I said before. The Hale82 V2 550W costs $110, that's why I considered it initially.
